Bug#510564: nautilus overwriting a file.

[db]

Ah ext3 is case sensitive.... it is not a wish list feature because real
data can be lost without a warning. By default samba (is not  exporting
shares that are case sensitive apparently) and nautilus does not prompt the
user leading to data loss. Perhaps the default configuration for samba
should be changed .... (but that is not really the best solution ( it is not
samba's fault) ... and only masks this bug, which might apply to other
non-case sensitive file systems / access methods (the missing prompt).
